Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Done!
I've been wearing my final set of aligners for a few weeks now. I am essentially done with my Crystal Braces treatment. While I am very happy with the closing of the spaces in my teeth, I will admit that my bite has changed quite a bit and it doesn't quite sit right. This is the risk you take and where "you get what you pay for" comes into play. Would I do it again? Yes, but only because my case was so minor.
In the coming weeks I will require a crown on an existing implant as well as a bonded retainer on my bottom teeth. I am excited to finally have a nice smile. I will post more photos, including full face before and afters, once my final work is done.

Just ordered my final set of trays!
Crystal Braces finally got back to me after a few days of me freaking out e-mailing them about how my treatment was doomed because they wouldn't answer the phone- my sense of urgency is sometimes a bit inflated. They have shipped my final trays and I expect them tomorrow or the next day. I'm glad that this is my final month, because I would be quite concerned if I had to depend on them during the (apparent) lawsuit they're involved in.
It appears the other popular option for at home treatment (SmileCareClub) is operating regularly. If I were someone interested in this type of program I would, based on comparison reviews and the state of limbo of Crystal Braces, go with their competitor. That is not to say that I'm not happy with my experience and the service I received. I do hope that this company is able to work something out so that more people will have the option of affordable orthodontic treatment.
I'll post my final photos in a few weeks.

Uh oh...
So Crystal Braces has taken down their website. The page is still there, but now advises customers to call for assistance. My friend, who works for an orthodontist, told me a few days ago that Crystal Braces and similar companies were being sued. I'm not sure if they will be able to continue the treatments they've already started. I hope so- I still have one tray left! I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if I missed it though. I will try to call later today and see what they plan to do.
